Is rapper Sky Blu, half of the Grammy-nominated duo LMFAO, secretly a nerd? Blu, whose real name is Skylar Gordy (yes, that Gordy — he’s Motown Founder Berry’s grandson), is not only familiar enough with “Star Trek” terminology to accuse former (and maybe future) Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney of inflicting a “vulcan grip” on his neck, but c’mon — having an (alleged) tussle with a 62-year-old politician? Over whether your airplane seat is in the upright position? And getting called out by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police? Dude. Plus, the guy apparently has Google Alerts set to himself (see video).

The dispute dates back to Monday, when Blu says — through a video posted on his Web site — that he was the individual who was kicked off a plane at the Vancouver airport after he argued with the passengers seated behind him — one Mitt Romney and his wife. According to Blu’s video testimony, Romney asked him to place his seat in the full upright position before takeoff. When Blu ignored him, he said Romney grabbed him by the shoulder. (“I just wanted the man not to touch me; that’s it.”)
